Here are some pictures from another restoration. This is a 1960's Cleveland era Rogers kit that a customer picked up at a tag sale for $40.00. The kit had the original bass drum pedal, hi-hat stand, snare stand and cymbal arm for the bass drum. There was no floor tom on this kit so the customer located a 16" floor tom from the same era but was already a re-wrap and the glue was gummy and a real pain in the A$$ to get off. I looked at literally hundreds of color samples for wrap finishes since the standard silver sparkle and silver glass glitter didn't match what was already on the drum. There was almost no fading on the wrap so I think I got as close as possible to the original color but you are welcome to chime in. The flakes in the newer wrap are just a little bit bigger and the sheet of wrap is quite literally about twice as thick as the original wrap on the drums but from several feet away it is hard to tell.

Kit as it came in without the floor tom, the throne is not pictured here.
